Chen Qun chose Huang Zhong not because Huang Zhong was easy to bully, but because the army he led was the best at attacking cities, which was not conducive to Liu Bei's army's subsequent stubborn defense.

Even among the elite Chu army, the army led by Huang Zhong is also an extremely special one. Huang Zhong's army is all good at shooting, to put it mildly, even the spearmen and shield soldiers and logistics baggage soldiers in his army have good marksmanship. Although each person has a well-modified crossbow, although it can only fire five crossbow arrows, it is indeed powerful, and it is enough to penetrate the iron armor within fifty steps. Combined with the elite archery skills of the sergeant, the power is not terrifying.

Therefore, it is not a lie that all the archers under Huang Zhong's command are like hedgehogs. Once faced with the siege of the city and the enemy's stubborn defense, these 50,000 soldiers can all become archers as long as they are equipped with bows and crossbows. Combined with Huang Zhongjia's legion talent with the range of his bow and crossbow, it is definitely a nightmare for all defenders.

Chen Qun also knew that Huang Zhong was not easy to provoke, and his strength was unfathomable, but he had no other way.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, Liu Bei is now a bad card in his hand, after the turmoil in Yanzhou, there are only more than 70,000 tired soldiers, and in the face of the hundreds of thousands of Chu troops with high morale, even Chen Qun has the wisdom to the sky and feels powerless, so he can only choose to give it a go. Anyway, there is no way to live, and it is not impossible to be dangerous.

Only the strong will be valued, and the real record is the best bargaining chip in the future negotiations. Although Liu Bei has no hope in this world, he also wants to prove his existence to people in the world and people like Yuan Shu. He was also ready to take a desperate gamble in this battle, and he was already fearless.

Leaving more than 20,000 soldiers scattered in the fortified cities of various counties and counties, Liu Bei took an army of 50,000 to disguise himself and secretly set off towards the west. This is almost all the troops that Liu Bei can take away, and even Changyi, the capital of Yanzhou, is completely empty, leaving only more than a thousand soldiers to make a feint.

"If you lose your land, you will lose your land; If people lose land, people and land will survive. Before leaving, looking at the tall city wall of Changyi City from afar, Liu Bei did not have a trace of nostalgia in his eyes, but said this lightly.

What is the use of such tall walls? Once surrounded by the Chu army, under the opponent's numerous and powerful engineering equipment, it is just a bunch of vulnerable targets, and it will not last long at all.

Liu Bei, who has grown up completely, did not hesitate to give up Changyi, a city that could not be defended, and forced to stay directly into a cage that trapped him, if the Chu army attacked here, it was meaningless to continue to defend it, it was better to give up decisively.

Liu Bei led his army to the west to prepare to meet the army led by Huang Zhong. On the other two sides, the attack of the Chu army was in full swing, and the Yanzhou defenders were unstoppable.

Sun Jian and Wei Yan are indeed not as good at attacking cities as Huang Zhong as Chen Qun said, one is good at attacking, and the other is good at sneak attacking, and the most suitable battlefield is the plain and the night. Therefore, Chen Qun thought that more than 20,000 soldiers relied on several fortified cities, which was enough to stop the two of them for a short time.

But unfortunately, Chen Qun didn't understand what kind of extent this so-called ungood siege was, in other words, he underestimated Sun Jian and Wei Yan.

Sun Jian has a strong personality, the Tiger of Jiangdong never knows how to retreat, and the way of fighting is also simple and rude.

Charge! Keep on the charge!

The army led by Sun Jian has a tiger-like temperament, with a compelling momentum, and every time there is a big battle, it is not afraid of death, and it is ferocious and abnormal. Within five days, the three cities were connected, and the spirit of the Jiangdong Tiger was unobstructed.

With such prestige, Liu Beifang's defenders were all frightened and afraid of the enemy, so Sun Jian's march became smoother and smoother, and the speed of the army became faster and faster. At this rate, in less than ten days, it will attack the hinterland of Yanzhou and take the state capital.

However, Wei Yan's leading style is very different from Sun Jian's. Fiction and reality, reality and fiction, the treacherous way of the art of war was vividly used by Wei Yan.

Thousands of soldiers and horses were stationed in the four fortified cities outside and inside the Yanzhou South Road. Although the number of people is small, relying on the advantage of the city, thousands of soldiers are enough to hold off the enemy army ten times its size for more than ten days.

Liu Bei's "show" during this period was not in vain, after distributing the vacated land after the collapse of the family to the poor people and soldiers in the army, many soldiers and people had the belief of fighting for Liu Bei, and the rest were also inscribed. Land was so important to the people of this era. It is precisely because of this that the soldiers under Liu Bei still did not flinch in the face of such a disparity in troops.

After Wei Yan's tentative attack twice, he found that this first level alone was extremely difficult to deal with. Thinking that there were three other fortified cities with the same kind in the back, Wei Yan suddenly understood that a strong attack was not a good method, and he had to rely on strategy to take it in a short time.

The next day, Wei Yan led his army to be stationed under the first city, and he had no intention of making a move. However, after the generals defending the city found out, they made a big move, deployed defenses everywhere, and placed police posts, lest Wei Yan attacked.

For three days, Wei Yanjun had no intention of attacking, but the generals defending the city became more and more uneasy. Beneath the calm is a sign before the storm.

Subsequently, on the fourth day, the generals defending the city received the news. Wei Yan led the army to attack thousands of miles at night, and the four fortified cities were unprepared, and Wei Yan had seized the opportunity to sneak attack at night and occupied two of them in three days.

There was a fire in the rear, and the guards were extremely angry. I wanted to send troops to attack the so-called Wei Yanquan army stationed next to the city, but I didn't know the truth and was worried that the enemy army under the city was not something that my thousands of soldiers could take.

But soon, his fears were dispelled, and the scouts came to report that they had found a group of baggage soldiers of the army under the city, and had already controlled one man, and received news from him that this was the food and grass that had been delivered to the troops under the city for a month.

After calculating this batch of grain and grass, the generals defending the city were overjoyed, because these grains and grasses were only enough for a thousand people, and the army under the city was really bluffing, and the army had already been led by Wei Yan to attack other cities.

The general who thought he had seen through Wei Yan's arrangement to defend the city, Dangye, led 3,000 soldiers and horses to attack Wei Yan's army. But after entering the camp, he tragically found that he had been tricked. Wei Yan's army was full of tens of thousands of elites and was waiting for him, directly beating the soldiers he led to scattered, losing nearly half.

However, the defending general, who was about to return to the city with a group of remnants of the defeated soldiers, arrived at the city and suddenly found that the flag on the castle tower had been replaced at some point. The blue-black flag of the Great Chu was waving in the wind, indicating that the city had changed hands.

When they sent troops to sneak attack before, Wei Yan, who had been hiding around the city for most of the day, directly led the elite of the army to disguise himself and entered the city, taking advantage of the emptiness in the city to take it directly.

That's it, just a few days, it didn't take much effort, and three of the four fortified cities had been cleverly taken down by Wei Yan's design, and the speed was really fast.
